#59 Yaesu FT-101 Series Part 1 Preliminary Test
In this video we look at the 10 dollar flea market Yaesu FT-101. I installed the missing boards and components and we give the radio a over look to see where it is electrically.  Inside we find the Mylar capacitors on the audio board have heavy moister damage. We also discover the wrong audio board was previously installed.

That was a neat $10 flea market find. I've never seen such a collection of crusty caps before, and all on one board. Looking forward to the next part.

Nice!. I've got a Yaesu FTdx-560 that I'm slowly working through. I just started on the power supply section so I have a long way to go

Yes moister will get these caps. And you are right, never seen so many fail on one board in my life. I have two lol.

Never had the pleasure to work on one of those. Sounds like you started in the right direction though. Good luck on it and keep us informed on the progress.
